Women make up 39% of entry-level supply chain positions. But when it comes to leadership in the industry, only 11% are women.
In most cases, the supply chain job market has gender-based double standards that exclude women, placing them at various disadvantages. Addressing these biases requires a comprehensive overhaul of the corporate culture - top to bottom at every level.
On the latest episode of Speaking of Supply Chain, we spoke with Emilie Lalibertè, Supply Chain Manager at Miebach Consulting. According to Emilie, change must be very intentional. Businesses must actively support women to elevate them to leadership positions. Some powerful ways companies support women include:
Flexible and remote work options
Mentorship opportunities
Active work against biases and unconscious microaggressions
